Find available Baserow databases from a Slack DM
A quick direct message can prompt a compact database inventory, making it easier to pick up a thought without a separate search session.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
List Databases
This tool retrieves a list of all databases in a specified workspace. as a fundamental operation, it allows users to discover which databases are available in their baserow workspace. this operation is independent and requires only authentication in order to fetch essential metadata for subsequent operations.
Why this helps
A small request to find a workspace can turn into a distracting round of tool switching and asking teammates.
- Makes database discovery available from an existing DM workflow.
- Lowers the friction of orienting around current workspaces.
- Keeps a small lookup from becoming a separate task to remember.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Baserow to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation that lists Baserow databases when a Slack DM arrives, or create it from the portal.
- 3Choose the direct message trigger and set a channel for run reports.
- 4Send one real DM and review the inventory returned.
